The Real Housewives of New York City Recap: Travel Reservations

The Real Housewives of New York City were back this week for plenty of sniping, tears, and Pinot. As Luann plans to take the ladies on a Moroccan vacation, Cindy buses the girls out to the Canyon Ranch Spa and Ramona ...

Well, Ramona continues to guzzle her own wine.

THG breaks it all down in our +/- recap below!

Luann decides to treat the ladies to a fabulous vacation… to Morocco. Where can I find a friend like Luann! Plus 10.

Jill and Cindy are in immediately. Plus 5. Ramona reacts negatively. Morocco's too exotic for her but on further thought says she'll make it work. Maybe she's afraid the country doesn't carry her Pinot. Minus 3.

Alex is in but laments that Simon doesn't like couscous. For having her relate everything back to Simon, Minus 2. Kelly agrees to think about it and after the fiasco that was last year's trip, I don't blame her for hesitating. She gets a Plus 1 for just considering it.

What's up with Luann's hoop earrings. I know these ladies like their jewelry large but my dog could jump through those. Plus 1.

Luann calls Ramona out on attacking Jill at the party last week. Plus 4. Ramona of course blames it all on Jill. Minus 3.

Ramona drinks water and tea. Not a drop of Pinot in sight. When was the last time you saw that? Plus 10.

Sonja continues to plug her toaster oven cook book which she has yet to write. Minus 3, but it doesn't stop her from doing a photo shoot for the cover, sans underwear! Kelly gets a show as Sonja straddles a dining table in an evening dress. Plus 5 for sheer ridiculousness, Minus 8 for visuals.

Cindy invites Luann, Jill, and Kelly to the Canyon Ranch Spa. Plus 5. She fails to invite Ramona, Sonja, and Alex because well…she just doesn't like them. Plus 8.

Jill covets her Diet Coke like it's an illegal drug the spa's about to confiscate. Plus 5.

The women lament how hard it is raising children on their own. Ladies, working two jobs and raising your kids while living on a budget is hard. Taking spa trips while the nanny watches them at home…not so much. Minus 6.

Alex, Ramona, and Sonja head out for some skin treatments of their own. Alex has her face shaved. Plus 4.

Ramona brings a case of her Pinot to auction off at Jill's charity event. Plus 5. She then breaks open the case and starts drinking it at the party. This woman can't seem to survive without a glass in her hand. Minus 8.

Ramona tells Luann she isn't allowed to wear the same designer that she does. She's serious. My guess is she knows tall, slender Luann will look better in any outfit and doesn't want the comparison. Still, it's just rude, so Minus 3.

Luann calls her out for it and then tells her she has to play nice on the Moroccan trip. Plus 4.

Alex just sounds whiny as she tries to defend poor, helpless, Ramona and calls Luann a truck driver and a thug in a cocktail dress. I'm guessing Alex hasn't met many truck drivers…or thugs for that matter. Minus 5.

Kelly mans up and decides crazy Ramona isn't going to stop her from going to Morocco. She even gets Ramona to stop her drunken tirade. Go Kelly! Plus 8.

EPISODE TOTAL: +25!

I think that could have been higher if Ramona had had a little more wine. The next three weeks will be spent in Morocco as the ladies attempt their version of a Sex and the City montage. The location looks amazing. The drama, ridiculous.

LuAnn is such a pretentious, revolting snob. an And Kelly? Is deluded and Lord knows how she is allowed to parent those girls considering her mental condition.And I agree - Jill is a bully and mean spirited.

Ramona is totally obnoxious,rude and a drunk.Good for Luann putting Ramona in her place.No one else had the nerve to do it. I am sure Mario is cheating on her. And who can blame him?

OMG did Ramona actually admit to being 54 today on the racap show...hahaahaha....did you hear that...I could have died. I love it. Where was her glass of wine (or is it whine, hahaha). She is such a trip. Well they all are. Does anyone think Kelly looks kind of orange, like she stays in the tanning bed maybe too long? And don't you love some of the past comments by Alex thinking her genes give her such "good looks"..haha.soooo funny. I think the ones who talk about how much sex they are getting and giving out are the ones who are doing neither (re: Sonja) and she probably hasn't has a good orgasm in years, if she ever even had ONE. Just sayin!

OH, I THINK IT'S ANOTHER GREAT RECAP! FUNNY COMMENT FROM JANICE MARIE! AND IT'S SO TRUE! RAMONA SWEARS SHE DOESN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ALCOHOL-I MEAN, DOES BRAVO JUST KEEP FILMING HER WITH A GLASS IN HAD 24/7? IF SHE DOESN'T, THEY SURE PORTRAY HER AS HAVING A HUGE PROBLEM. OH, THE SONJA AND TOASTER OVEN COMMENT-FANTASTIC! THE RECAPS FROM A FEW OF THE AUTHOR'S ARE FAR BETTER THAN THE SHOW! THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS!

Janice Marie•May 20, 2011 13:37

They are all insane. And I love every minute of it.

Kelly•May 20, 2011 12:50

Oh please. Ramona's a drunken witch who needed a good smack down. I'm not a big fan of Luann's but I was glad to see her try and put her in her place. Why is everyone so scared of the little, bug eyed crazy woman. Alex has become nothing but boring and whiny. If they bounced her off the show I wouldn't notice.

Great point about raising kids on a budget. So true. I'm assuming their kids won't be on this trip to Morocco??? Yeah, real tough. I feel their pain.
